    My little girl arrived Monday at 2.05pm. Managed my water birth :)
    Early labour was slow, I was 2cm all day on 11th and when i was finally 4cm on 12th it was still not progressing past that so had waters broken but then she was onky 2 hours.
    We're still in hospital because she isn't feeding right. Going to try her with a bottle later getting desperate to go home now

    Congratulations Selement.

    My bump is really sore this week. I think it's growing pains. Yesterday she had her bum sticking out by my belly button so my bump was a funny shape!


    I've put 7lbs on in 3 weeks! Need to watch my snacking.

    Congrats Selement! Any advice you'd give the rest of us?

    One thing that was said at my antenatal classes was make sure you get all the help you can/need whilst your in the hospital - even though you really want to go home, make sure you're comfortable doing so and have the support in place you need.

    No real advice other than to keep going and try your best. One thing I will say is my family got me terrified of tearing saying it hurt worse than labour- i did have 2nd degree tears and needed stitching but it really wasn't that bad they use local so injections have a little sting and they let me keep using gas and air and labour definately hurts more :p

    Had another growth scan today. (33+6) baby is just above 10th centile but this is line with the last growth scan. Heartbeat, placenta and fluid are all fine.
    Hopefully next scan will show same sort of growth.
    Weighing in at 4.4 pounds.
    A bit of relief for me u til the next scan in two weeks.
    Baby has been wiggling round like a washing machine ever since the last scan two weeks ago when they said he hadn’t grown as much as he should and upped my scan frequency. Think he’s just letting me know he’s ok.
    Got a great scan picture of his little face today. Looks a right little grump :)
    Hope everyone else is well x
